Default Tuesday Nite Trivia......

Only one player in Major League history has hit 50 HR's (or more) in a season.....but, has Struck Out less than 50 times at bat.

Who is this keen-eyed Slugger ?

For a career, Joe D. had 361 HR and 369 strikeouts. One year he hit 30 and only struck out 13 times. Pujols almost duplicated Mize's feat not too long ago.

The amazing thing looking these guys up is that they all struck out far fewer times than the guys todays, I mean ALL of them. Pretty amazing stuff.

Default Johnny Mize

One of my all-time favorite guys....I've met him several times and have visited him in his hometown, Demorest, GA










Comparing career HR's (361) vs KO's (369)....Peter is correct. I don't think you can beat "The Yankee Clipper".

Lost 3 years in his prime to WW2 and still hit 359 homers. It should not have taken 28 years to put him in the HOF

Amazing feat. Another trivia: Name the only player in the last 50 years to have 50 doubles and 50 sbs in 1 season
